Ariana Grande Resumes Dangerous Woman Tour After Manchester Attack
The "Bang Bang" singer is continuing on with the European leg of her Dangerous Woman tour.
Ariana Grande announced that she was getting ready to take the stage in Paris on June 7, 2017. And, she noted, she'll have the victims of the May 22nd Manchester Arena attack in her thoughts as she performs. Sharing a photo of the Eiffel Tower on Instagram, she wrote, "First show back tonight. Thinking of our angels every step of the way. I love you with all my heart."
"Grateful for and incredibly proud of my band, dancers and entire crew," she continued. "I love you I love you."
The 23-year-old initially suspended her tour after the horrific bombing at her Manchester concert in late May, which killed 22 and injured 59.
Responding to the attack, Grande released a powerful essay on May 26, stating, "We will not quit or operate in fear. We won't let this divide us. We won't let hate win." The pop star later organized a benefit concert to raise money for those affected by the Manchester tragedy. The event, which featured performances by Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and more, reportedly raised 7 million pounds.
Grande has also re-released her 2014 hit "One Last Time" as a charity single. On June 7, it was reported that her emotional cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was released to several streaming services, raising money for the British Red Cross' We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.
